The capacity of the carbonaceous materials reached ca. $350\;mAhg^{-1}$ which is close to theorestical value of the carbon intercalation composition $LiC_6$, resulting in a relatively low volumetric Li capacity. Notwithstanding the capacities of carbon, it will not adjust well to the need so future devices. Silicon shows the highest gravimetric capacities (up to $4000\;mAhg^{-1}$ for $Li_{21}Si_5$). Although Si is the most promising of the next generation anodes, it undergoes a large volume change during lithium insertion and extraction. It results in pulverization of the Si and loss of electrical contact between the Si and the current collector during the lithiation and delithiation. Thus, its capacity fades rapidly during cycling. We focused on electrode materials in the multiphase form which were composed of two metal compounds to reduce the volume change in material design. A combination of electrochemically amorphous active material in an inert matrix (Si-M) has been investigated for use as negative electrode materials in lithium ion batteries. The matrix composited of Si-M alloys system that; active material (Si)-inactive material (M) with Li; M is a transition metal that does not alloy with Li with Li such as Ti, V or Mo. We fabricated and tested a broad range of Si-M compositions. The electrodes were sputter-deposited on rough Cu foil. Electrochemical, structural, and compositional characterization was performed using various techniques. The structure of Si-M alloys was investigated using X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Surface morphologies of the electrodes are observed using a field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The electrochemical properties of the electrodes are studied using the cycling test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It is found that the capacity is strongly dependent on Si content and cycle retention is also changed according to M contents. It may be beneficial to find materials with high capacity, low irreversible capacity and that do not pulverize, and that combine Si-M to improve capacity retention.

최근에 고온용 항공기 구조 재료로 Ti, Zr, V, Nb 및 Ta 등의 천이금속을 첨가한 Al 합금계 제조와 특성에 관한 연구가 되어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 Al-Nb합금에 Zr을 첨가하여 상형성거동을 연구하였다. Al-1.3at.%(Nb+Zr) 합금에서 Nb와 Zr의 원자비를 1:3, 1:1 및 3:1로 하여 기계적합금화하였다. 기계적합금화하는 동안 Al-Nb-Zr의 형태변화와 미세구조를 SEM, XRD 및 TEM으로 관찰하였다. X-선 회절 시험에 의하여 $Nb_2Al$ 과 $Al_3Zr_4$가 생성됨을 확인하였다. $500^{\circ}C$에서 1시간동안의 진공열처리에 의하여 $Al_3Zr$, $Al_3Zr_4$ 등의 금속간화합물을 형성하였다. 30시간동안 기계적 합금화한 분말을 열처리하여 TEM으로 관찰한 결과 100nm 이하의 금속간화합물 입자들을 관찰하였다.
